TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of cloud computing technology, and, more particularly, to data transmission methods and systems.

BACKGROUND

A main solution for enterprises using cloud computing technology is to use a hybrid cloud architecture. The hybrid cloud uses not only the security and controllability of a private cloud to store important internal data, such as a main database deployed in a local data center, but also the flexible computing resources of the public cloud, which has the advantage of pay-as-you-go and saves cost to possess the advantages of both the private cloud and the public cloud. A private connection is a basic fundamental composition of the hybrid cloud architecture. The private connection includes two solutions based on IPsec VPN (IPsec VPN is the abbreviation of Internet Protocol Security Virtual Private Network), dedicated line access. IPsec VPN is a data encryption tunnel based on pure Internet, and the two ends of the tunnel are composed of routers, firewalls and other dedicated devices. A dedicated line is a physical network connection provided by an ISP operator (ISP is the abbreviation of Internet Service Provider) or by a secondary network integrator, and generally is 2-layer Ethernet access (MSTP (Multi-Service Transfer Platform) line) or 3-layer access (MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) VPN). In most cases, the dedicated line is an exclusive line with high security.

However, the IPsec VPN-based solution has the problem that quality is not guaranteed, and the network and time lag are completely dependent on the Internet. In the case of long-distance transmission, especially under a cross-border scenario, the quality is very poor. The solution based on dedicated line access has a very high and opaque price. The monthly cost of the dedicated lines in the same city is about $150 per megabyte and the inter-provincial dedicated lines are more expensive. In addition, the construction period is long, which, even if the resources are available, takes two weeks to one month. If there are no resources readily available or cross-border transmission is required, the construction will take more than three months. The construction also needs access to properties. Generally, only the major operators are qualified to sell MSTP lines, but they often build barriers to each other. When the client's property is monopolized by an operator, other operators are not accessible.

No effective solution has been proposed to address the low efficiency and high cost of the data transmission process in the conventional techniques.

Embodiment 1

Among the existing technologies for accessing private cloud and hybrid cloud, a solution based on IPsec VPN has the problem of poor quality, while a solution based on dedicated line access has the problems of high cost, a long construction period and requirements for the property.

In order to solve the foregoing technical problems, the present disclosure proposes a data transmission system. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a data transmission system according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the data transmission system may comprise: a transmission terminal 102, a network controller 104 and a backbone transmission network device 106.

Here, the transmission terminal 102 is used for encrypting and encapsulating a data flow to obtain a target data packet; the network controller 104 is deployed in a first Internet network, and stores routing information from the transmission terminal to a receiving terminal; the backbone transmission network device 106 is deployed in a backbone transmission network and used for obtaining the target data packet forwarded by the first Internet network and forwarding the target data packet to the receiving terminal based on the routing information.

For example, the foregoing transmission terminal may be a client terminal (physical machine). For example, it may be a computer terminal or mobile terminal on the user side and located in a client intranet, for example, it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure; the foregoing network controller may be a control server (i.e., controller server) arranged in the first Internet network and may be implemented by deploying control software on a server configured through any hardware; the foregoing first Internet network may be an operator network, for example, a network of T-mobile or AT&T without limitation. In order to consider redundancy and speed up access, a set of network controllers may be deployed in each of different operator networks; the foregoing backbone transmission network device may be arranged in a server or a device in the backbone transmission network, belongs to an enterprise private network and is used for carrying network data of corresponding production services of the client; the foregoing receiving terminal may be a virtual machine of the client's own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and may also be another client terminal (physical machine). For example, it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure. That is to say, in the present disclosure, the transmission terminal and the receiving terminal both may be client terminals (physical machines). Further, the receiving terminal may also be a virtual machine. In an example embodiment, when the transmission terminal and the receiving terminal are both physical machines, transmission and receiving are only for differentiating the starting point and end point of data transmission, the starting point of data transmission is a transmission terminal, and the end point of data transmission is a receiving terminal, but it does not mean that the transmission terminal and the receiving terminal have any difference in hardware or software configuration. In fact, the same physical machine may serve as a transmission terminal and may also serve as a receiving terminal.

For example, the network controller may obtain the network segment and routing intent of each client terminal through Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or static routing (for example, which client terminals, VPCs and cloud resources need to communicate with each other, and which client terminals need to be interconnected) and Quality of Service (QoS) and other parameter configurations can be formulated by users according to actual strategies. The network controller may directly calculate routing information from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal according to user's intention, including the address of each node that is passed through in the data transmission process from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal. In an embodiment, centralized acquisition of routing information of each client terminal can be achieved by designing a routing controller in the network controller.

It should also be noted that a client terminal may encrypt and encapsulate a client's data flow to a Vxlan data packet, i.e., the foregoing target data packet. The backbone transmission network may be achieved through isolation of Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF) similar to MPLS VPN.

In an alternative solution, a controller server may be arranged in an operator network. The client terminal may encrypt an obtained data flow and encapsulate the data flow to a Vxlan data packet and transmit the Vxlan data packet to a backbone transmission network via the operator network. The backbone transmission network device may forward a client's data packet to the destination according to routing information from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal stored in the controller server.

In the solution provided by the foregoing Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, a network controller may be deployed in a first Internet network, the network controller stores routing information from a transmission terminal to a receiving terminal, a data flow may be encrypted and encapsulated through the transmission terminal to obtain a target data packet, the target data packet is forwarded to a backbone transmission network through a first Internet network, and further, and the backbone transmission network device may forward the target data packet to a receiving terminal based on the routing information, thereby achieving the purpose of an end-to-end enterprise virtual network.

It is easy to notice that compared to the conventional techniques, encrypting and encapsulating a data flow through a transmission terminal and performing data forwarding through routing information provided by a network controller may achieve automatic learning and automatic forwarding of routing; the client private network is configured automatically and does not need manual configuration; the complexity of routing configuration and maintenance is reduced significantly; no specific persons are needed for operation and maintenance; the quality is high; and the technical effect of improving network quality, raising transmission efficiency and reducing network cost is achieved.

Therefore, the solution of the foregoing Embodiment 1 provided by the present disclosure solves the technical problem of the low efficiency and high cost of the data transmission process in the conventional techniques.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the data transmission system may further comprise: a first access gateway 108.

Here, the first access gateway 108 is deployed in the first Internet network and used for receiving the target data packet transmitted by the transmission terminal.

For example, the foregoing first access gateway may be an Access Gateway (AGW) server, and a plurality of AGW servers may be deployed in an operator network to perform data communication with the client terminal as a bridging node for converting the client data packet from the Internet to a backbone transmission network.

For example, the transmission terminal and the first access gateway are connected in any of the following ways: asymmetric digital subscriber line, Internet broadband, wireless network and 4G network. For example, the Internet part may be implemented using the existing Internet connection channels of the client terminal, such as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), Internet broadband, wireless network (WiFi), or may be implemented using a built-in 4G LTE network card of the client terminal

In an alternative solution, the client terminal may transmit a Vxlan data packet to an AGW server through an encrypted User Datagram Protocol (UDP) message. After the client data packet enters the AGW server, it will be forwarded to a backbone transmission network device.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, a network address of a first access gateway is stored in a network controller, and the network controller is further used for transmitting the network address of the first access gateway to the transmission terminal; and the transmission terminal transmits the target data packet to the first access gateway according to the network address of the first access gateway.

In an alternative solution, the controller server may manage all AGW servers in the same operator network, and transmit the IP addresses of all AGW servers to the client terminal, for example, transmit an IP list to the client terminal, so that the terminal may transmit encrypted UDP messages to one of the AGW servers.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, at least two first access gateways are deployed in the first Internet network and the transmission terminal transmits a test data packet to each first access gateway respectively to determine the time lag from the transmission terminal to each first access gateway; and the transmission terminal transmits the target data packet to the first access gateway with the least time lag.

In an alternative solution, after the client terminal receives the IP addresses of all AGW servers transmitted by the controller server, the AGW server with the least time lag may be determined, and encrypted UDP messages are transmitted to the AGW server through the IP address of the AGW server.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the data transmission system may further comprise: a first edge router 110.

Here, the first edge router 110 is deployed in the first Internet network and used for receiving a target data packet forwarded by a first access gateway and forwarding the target data packet to a backbone transmission network device.

For example, the foregoing first edge router may be a Provider Edge (PE) router and may be deployed on the edge of an operator network and perform data communication with a backbone transmission network device. For example, PE routers may be deployed in different operator networks.

In an alternative solution, after receiving the client data packet transmitted by the transmission terminal, the AGW server may encapsulate a private data packet message tag and client-dedicated routing information through a PE router and forward them to a backbone transmission network device. Here, the client-dedicated routing information may be routing information stored in a controller server and used for implementing transmission of the data packet.

For example, the cross-operator network access may be forwarded from a first edge router of a first Internet network to a backbone transmission network device, and then be forwarded by the backbone transmission network device to a second edge router in a second network such as a second Internet network, so that direct communication between the first edge router in the first Internet network and the second edge router in the second Internet network can be avoided to bypass the operator interworking interface positions where congestion likely happens and to raise access efficiency.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, the network controller is further used for transmitting routing information to a first access gateway, and the first access gateway forwards a target data packet and the routing information to a first edge router according to the routing information; and the first edge router forwards the target data packet and the routing information to a backbone transmission network device according to the routing information.

In an alternative solution, an AGW server may obtain the routing information transmitted by the controller server, so that the AGW server may, according to the routing information, forward a client data packet to a PE router, and likewise, the PE router may also obtain the routing information transmitted by the controller server, so that a private data packet message tag and client-dedicated routing information may be encapsulated through the PE router and forwarded to a backbone transmission network device. Here, the client-dedicated routing information may be routing information stored in a controller server and used for implementing transmission of the data packet.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving terminal is a physical machine, and the data transmission system may further comprise: a second edge router 202, a second access gateway 204 and a receiving terminal 206.

Here, the second edge router 202 is deployed in the second Internet network and used for receiving a target data packet forwarded by a backbone transmission network device and forwarding the target data packet to the second access gateway; the second access gateway 204 is deployed in a second Internet network and used for forwarding the target data packet to the receiving terminal; and the receiving terminal 206 is used for decrypting and decapsulating the target data packet to obtain a data flow.

For example, the foregoing second Internet network may be an operator network different from the first Internet network. For example, the first Internet network may be a T-mobile network, the second Internet network may be a AT&T network, the foregoing second edge router may be a PE router deployed on the edge of the second Internet network, the foregoing second access gateway may be an AGW server deployed in the second Internet network, the receiving terminal may be another client terminal different from the transmission terminal, e.g., a computer terminal or mobile terminal on the user side, and located in a client intranet, for example, it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure.

In an alternative solution, after determining that the received client data packet needs to be forwarded to another client terminal, the backbone transmission network device may forward the client data packet to a PE router on the edge of another operator network, so that the client data packet may be forwarded to another client terminal through an AGW server in the operator network.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the receiving terminal is a virtual machine 302 deployed in a private cloud network, and a virtual router 304 is further deployed in the private cloud network.

Here, the virtual router 304 is used for receiving a target data packet forwarded by a backbone transmission network device and forwarding the target data packet to a virtual machine.

For example, the foregoing private cloud network may be the client's virtual private cloud (VPC), and the foregoing virtual machine may be ECS in the VPC. The foregoing virtual router may be a router in the VPC, or a gateway device connecting the VPC and other networks and may implement forwarding of a data packet through a stored routing table. The VPC may be implemented by a software-defined network (SDN) technology, thereby implementing configuration management of IP addresses, subnets, routing tables and other functions and the management of networks and costs.

In an alternative solution, after determining that a received client data packet needs to be forwarded to a virtual machine deployed in a private cloud network, a backbone transmission network device may forward the client data packet to the private cloud network directly, so that the client data packet may be forwarded to the virtual machine through a router in the private cloud network.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, a virtual switch 306 is further deployed in the private cloud network.

Here, the virtual switch 306 is used for receiving a target data packet forwarded by a virtual router and forwarding the target data packet to a virtual machine.

For example, one virtual router and a plurality of virtual switches may be deployed in a VPC, and each virtual switch may be connected to a plurality of virtual machines to achieve data packet forwarding among the plurality of virtual machines and the virtual router.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an alternative data transmission system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a flow model of an alternative data transmission system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Below, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 by taking cross-operator transmission of a data packet as an example.

As shown in FIG. 4, controller servers may be deployed in every operator network (e.g., 208 and 104 in FIG. 4). For example, a group of controller servers are deployed in each of the T-mobile Network and the AT&T network, AGW servers are deployed in operator networks (e.g., 108(1), 108(2), 204(1), and 204(2) in FIG. 4), PE routers are deployed on the edges of operator networks (e.g., 202 and 110 of FIG. 4), and a backbone transmission network device 106 is deployed in a backbone transmission network. The VPC comprises a router 304, a switch 306 connected to the router 304 and a Server Load Balance (SLB) 402 connected to the router 304. Different operator networks are connected to the backbone transmission network, client terminals (e.g., 102(1), 102(2), 206(1), and 206(2) in FIG. 4) are connected to the AGW server through the Internet, and the VPC is connected to the backbone transmission network through an SDN-virtual network. The data packet flow path of a cross-operator network is shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4, and the data packet flow path for access to a VPC through the operator network is shown by the chain line in FIG. 4. For example, a cross-operator network may be a network from the T-mobile network to the AT&T network and the corresponding data packet flow model is as shown in FIG. 5, in which the solid arrow represents the Internet and the hollow arrow represents the backbone transmission network. The client terminal 502(1) is connected to the client intranet 504(1) and 504(2). The data is transmitted from the client terminal 502(1) to the AGW 506(1). AGW 506(1) is connected to AGW 506(2) and AGW 506(3). The client terminal 502(2) is connected to the AGW 506(3) and client intranet 504(3).

A user may encrypt and encapsulate a data flow to a Vxlan data packet through a client terminal, and transmit the data flow through an encrypted UDP message to an AGW server with the least lag from this client terminal. This path passes through the Internet, and the IP address of the AGW server is managed by a controller server and delivered to a client terminal.

After the data packet enters the AGW server, a private data packet message tag and client-dedicated routing information may be encapsulated and forwarded into a backbone transmission network through a PE router on the edge of the T-mobile network.

In the end, the data packet may be forwarded to the destination in the backbone transmission network according to the routing information of the controller server, for example, forwarded to a PE router on the edge of the AT&T network, and forwarded to another client terminal through an AGW server in the AT&T network.

For example, the data packet may also be forwarded through the backbone transmission network to a virtual machine in a VPC.

Through the foregoing solution, a new private connection between a client terminal and cloud or between a client terminal and another client terminal may be generated on the basis of public cloud by software plus hardware, and a client data packet in Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) avoids congestion with the intra-province network of the same operator and congestion of cross-operator network interface through the Internet, and enters the backbone transmission network through the Internet as soon as possible to improve network quality. At the same time, with the cooperation of the network controller and the client terminal, the routing and management information between network instances is automatically pushed by the controller without manual configuration, which greatly reduces the complexity of routing configuration and maintenance, and does not need specific personnel for operation and maintenance. Relative to an IPsec VPN solution, the foregoing solution has the features of no configuration and high quality; relative to a hardware manufacturer, it possesses hardware and software at the same time and makes use of the resource of the backbone transmission network to accelerate the network; and relative to an on-demand network of AT&T, it is free from the restriction of operator barriers and the network data may be encrypted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the computer terminal 600 (or mobile device) may be a backbone transmission network device 106 and may also be a transmission terminal 102.

It should be noted that the data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied in the data transmission system in Embodiment 1.

In the foregoing operating environment, the present disclosure provides a data transmission method as shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a data transmission method according to Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the method may comprise the following acts:

Step S702, a backbone transmission network device obtains through a first Internet network a target data packet transmitted by a transmission terminal, wherein the target data packet is obtained by the transmission terminal by encrypting and encapsulating a data flow.

For example, the foregoing transmission terminal may be a client terminal, for example it may be a computer terminal or mobile terminal on the user side, and located in a client intranet, for example it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure; the foregoing backbone transmission network device may be a server or a device arranged in the backbone transmission network, belongs to an enterprise private network and is used for carrying network data of corresponding product services of the client.

The network controller may obtain the network segment and routing intent of each client terminal through Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or static routing (for example, which client terminals, VPCs and cloud resources need to communicate with each other, and which client terminals need to be interconnected) and Quality of Service (QoS) and other parameter configurations can be formulated by users according to actual strategies. A client terminal may encrypt and encapsulate client's data flow to a Vxlan data packet, i.e., the foregoing target data packet.

Step S704, the backbone transmission network device obtains routing information from a transmission terminal to a receiving terminal transmitted by a network controller, wherein the network controller is deployed in the first Internet network.

For example, the foregoing network controller may be arranged in a controller server inside the first Internet network and may be implemented by deploying control software on a server configured through any hardware; the foregoing first Internet network may be an operator network, for example, a network of T-mobile or AT&T. In order to consider redundancy and speed up access, a set of network controllers may be deployed in each of different operator networks; the foregoing receiving terminal may be a virtual machine of the client's own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and may also be another client terminal, for example, it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure.

The network controller may directly calculate routing information from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal according to user's intention, including the address of each node that is passed through in the data transmission process. In an embodiment, centralized acquisition of routing information of each client terminal may be achieved by designing a routing controller in the network controller. The backbone transmission network may be achieved through isolation of Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF) similar to MPLS VPN.

Step S706, a backbone transmission network device forwards a target data packet to a receiving terminal based on routing information.

In an alternative solution, a controller server may be arranged on the Internet. The transmission terminal may encrypt an obtained data flow and encapsulate the data flow to a Vxlan data packet, and transmits the Vxlan data packet to a backbone transmission network through an operator network. The backbone transmission network device may forward a client's data packet to the destination according to the routing information from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal stored in the controller server.

In the solution provided by the foregoing Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure, after obtaining a target data packet transmitted by a transmission terminal through a first Internet network, a backbone transmission network device may further obtain routing information from the transmission terminal to a receiving terminal deployed in the first Internet network and transmitted by the network controller, and transmit the target data packet to the receiving terminal based on the routing information, thereby achieving the purpose of an end-to-end enterprise virtual network.

It is easy to notice that compared to the conventional techniques, encrypting and encapsulating a data flow through a transmission terminal and performing data forwarding through routing information provided by a network controller may achieve automatic learning and automatic forwarding of routing; the client private network is configured automatically and does not need manual configuration; the complexity of routing configuration and maintenance is reduced significantly; no specific persons are needed for operation and maintenance; the quality is high; and the technical effect of improving network quality, raising transmission efficiency and reducing network cost is achieved.

Therefore, the solution of the foregoing Embodiment 2 provided by the present disclosure solves the technical problem of the low efficiency and high cost of the data transmission process in the conventional techniques.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, step S702, a backbone transmission network device obtains through a first Internet network a target data packet transmitted by a transmission terminal, comprises:

the backbone transmission network device obtains the target data packet forwarded by a first edge router, wherein the target data packet is transmitted by the transmission terminal to a first access gateway, and forwarded by the first access gateway to the first edge router, and wherein the first access gateway and the first edge router are deployed in a first Internet network.

For example, the foregoing first access gateway may be an Access Gateway (AGW) server, and a plurality of AGW servers may be deployed in an operator network to perform data communication with the client terminal as a bridging node for converting the client data packet from the Internet to the backbone transmission network; and the foregoing first edge router may be a Provider Edge (PE) router and may be deployed on the edge of the operator network and perform data communication with a backbone transmission network device. PE routers may be deployed in different operator networks.

For example, the transmission terminal and the first access gateway may be connected in any of the following ways: asymmetric digital subscriber line, Internet broadband, wireless network and 4G network.

For example, the Internet part may be implemented using the existing Internet connection channels of the client terminal, such as Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), Internet broadband, wireless network (WiFi), or may be implemented using a built-in 4G LTE network card of the client terminal.

In an alternative solution, the client terminal may transmit a Vxlan data packet to an AGW server through an encrypted User Datagram Protocol (UDP) message. After the client data packet enters the AGW server, a private data packet message tag and client-dedicated routing information may be encapsulated through a PE router and forwarded to a backbone transmission network device. Here, the client-dedicated routing information may be routing information stored in a controller server and used for implementing transmission of the data packet.

The cross-operator network access may be forwarded through a PE router to bypass the operator interworking interface positions where congestion likely happens and to raise access efficiency.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, the receiving terminal is a physical machine, and step S706, a backbone transmission network device forwards a target data packet to a receiving terminal based on routing information, comprises:

At a first sub-step of S706, the backbone transmission network device forwards the target data packet to a second edge router through a second Internet network based on routing information, wherein the target data packet is forwarded by the second edge router to a second access gateway and forwarded by the second access gateway to a receiving terminal, the target data packet is decrypted and decapsulated by the receiving terminal to obtain a data flow, and the second access gateway and the second edge router are deployed in the second Internet network.

For example, the foregoing second Internet network may be an operator network different from the first Internet network. For example, the first Internet network may be a T-mobile network, the second Internet network may be a AT&T network, the foregoing second edge router may be PE router deployed on the edge of the second Internet network, the foregoing second access gateway may be an AGW server deployed in the second Internet network, the receiving terminal may be another client terminal different from the transmission terminal, may be a computer terminal or mobile terminal on the user side, and located in a client intranet, for example, it may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone (including an Android mobile phone or an IOS mobile phone), an IPAD, a tablet PC or a palm computer, and is not limited in the present disclosure.

In an alternative solution, after determining that a received client data packet needs to be forwarded to another client terminal, a backbone transmission network device may forward the client data packet to a PE router on the edge of another operator network, so that the client data packet may be forwarded to another client terminal through an AGW server in the operator network.

In the foregoing embodiment of the present disclosure, the receiving terminal is a virtual machine deployed in a private cloud network, and step S706, a backbone transmission network device forwards a target data packet to a receiving terminal based on routing information, comprises:

At a second sub-step of S706, the backbone transmission network device forwards the target data packet to a virtual router through the private cloud network, wherein the target data packet is forwarded by the virtual router to a virtual machine, and the virtual router is deployed in the private cloud network.

For example, the foregoing private cloud network may be the client's virtual private cloud (VPC), and the foregoing virtual machine terminal may be ECS in the VPC. The foregoing virtual router may be a router in the VPC, or a gateway device connecting the VPC and other networks and may implement forwarding of a data packet through a stored routing table. The VPC may be implemented by a software-defined network (SDN) technology, thereby implementing configuration management of IP addresses, subnets, routing tables and other functions and the management of networks and costs.

In an alternative solution, after determining that a received client data packet needs to be forwarded to a virtual machine deployed in a private cloud network, a backbone transmission network device may forward the client data packet to the private cloud network directly, so that the client data packet may be forwarded to the virtual machine receiving the client data packet.

The network controller may directly calculate routing information from the transmission terminal to the receiving terminal according to user's intention, including the address of each node that is passed through in the data transmission process. In an embodiment, centralized acquisition of routing information of each client terminal can be achieved by designing a routing controller in the network controller.

It should also be noted that a client terminal may encrypt and encapsulate client's data flow to a Vxlan data packet, i.e., the foregoing target data packet. The backbone transmission network may be achieved through isolation of Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF) similar to MPLS VPN.
